First Claim
1. A computer system enabling users to store data records on a database at predetermined addresses identified by hypertext link references, comprising:
- at least one user interface interoperable with a processor for receiving data input by a user;
a database in communication with said processor, whereby said database may receive said data input by a user in the form of a first data record for storage; and
a word processor running on said processor, wherein said word processor is operable to;
recognize a first keyword phrase defining a first predetermined address at which said first data record is to be stored on the database, said keyword phrase being input by a user through said user interface when creating said first data record; and
store said first data record at said first predetermined address on the database.

Abstract
A computer system wherein data records are created, stored and retrieved from predetermined addresses on a plurality of databases using a specialized word processor that recognizes keywords entered by the user and associates those keywords with the unique addresses of the data records to which they refer. Each data record created for storing on the system is automatically stored at a predetermined, unique address by a word processor according to keywords entered into the data record by a user. Users creating data records may reference other data records by the use of keywords which uniquely identify those other records. References to other data records cause a word processor to create hypertext links to those other data records so that users may retrieve them without knowing where they are stored on the computer system. The word processor monitors data input to a record by a user to determine when a keyword is being entered, and assists users in identifying correct keywords which point to the data records which they desire to retrieve or refer to.
